He was Old Rulai's disciple, so the two of them knew each other very well Old Rulai was old and couldn't control the one down the mountains with monks from other cloisters, and so Old Ma's wife and children had lost their lives
Old Rulai severed his arh this wouldn't resolve the hatred in his heart, he still had to succeed his master's cassock and alms bowl; he couldn't let Great Thunderclap Monastery disappear just like this
When he returned to his homeland and sat on the throne of Rulai, the wind swept azure clouds past his body When that wind dispersed, he suddenly achieved true enlightenh the last real Brahhtenolden peak of Great Thunderclap Monastery, Qin Mu looked at Old Ma who had educated him on how to be an adult and had all kinds of emotions in his heart In the end, he called him senior brother
This Rulai of Great Thunderclap Monastery had cultivated to the highest realm, the realm of Brahma His corporeal body, spiritual sense, and tathata were perfected and had twenty heavens behind hiods and buddhas of all sizes surrounded hi sacred and reeted him in return
Qin Mu face turned di in this position, he was no longer the Old Ma from the past—he was Rulai He had to put down his worldly affairs and let the four eleh he had said he would just go to attend the ceremony, he had actually been worried about Old Ma's safety He was afraid that the monks of Great Thunderclap Monastery would harhest realm in Rulai's Mahayana Sutra, there was no need for protection, so Cripple was also itching to move There were treasures everywhere in this Great Thunderclap Monastery, and they ue unable to sit still He wanted to steal, but he wouldn't be able to face his conscience then, so when he saw Qin Mu and Village Chief, he couldn't resist suggesting to leave as soon as possible

"When I met Old Ma, he was the most famous constable in the world known as Divine Constable Ma He alolden peak of Mount Meru, which was shining brilliantly as resonating buddha voices rang in the air They materialized into words, into a lotus, and into apparitions of buddhas surrounding the sacred ground
Cripple fell into a daze and said in a low voice, "He caught ht many times The one I was afraid of and respected theat all, begging for food everywhere When I couldn't endure er, I would steal I didn't dare to snatch cause I was thin and frail
"Soht by an old constable who didn't send ht me crafts and was like a father toa constable like him one day Old Ma reminds me of him, I feel like Old Ma looks especially like hion qilin's back, not saying anything as he listened to Cripple talking about his past with Village Chief and the rest
"I didn't have a dad, so I always felt that the old constable wasthe years I followed hi and happy But one day, the old constable died"
Cripple's eyes relaxed, and his tone becaht, his enemies came to find him I was asleep then, but shouts froed into my room and sent oodany clothes then, so I just ran butt-naked I ran and ran until my speed became faster and faster, faster and faster I cried for help but no one came, no one…"
A thin, frail, and butt-naked boy had been helplessly running, crying for help, yet no one caht until day and covered over ten thousand miles When he came to his sense, he returned to the residence of the old constable, but it had already been razed to the ground He could only dig out the charred bones of the old constable
"He wanted hout his life, but how had he ended up? I don't want to be a good man! He didn't want me to steal so I shall steal"
In a lonely voice, Cripple continued, "I stole while I ran, and as I did that,louder and louder, until I was referred to as Thief God by the people All the bullshit seals and forbidden arts were nothing in htning, and stole throughout the whole world Whatever sect, whatever sacred ground, I stole from all of them
"At one point, I found his enemies and stole their heads When I paid ain and wanted to beco and no matter what I did, I couldn't quit After that, I met Old Ma He reminded me of the old constable, so I feared him a bit, and I respected him Now that he has become Rulai, his merciful look ree Chief popped his head out from the herb basket "Old Ma won't become buddha When a new rulai comes one day, he will take down his cassock and becoaze at the sky "I hope so"
